After playing for over two days straight, I'm only about halfway through Origins, (EDIT 2 weeks later: Ha! I wasn't even a quarter of the way through yet) so I can't give a definitive bottom line assessment. But I can say that it would have to hit me with a very very radical midway shift if it intends to disappoint me from here on out. Bayek is a great character, more than worthy of the franchise. Based on previews I was thinking he was more like Altair and Connor... stoic, cold and humorless. Not so, his “primitive” old world speech patterns belie his warm personality, wit and heart. He won me over quickly. In one scene an old friend who hasn't seen him in a few years asks him “So, how's your wife?” Bayek answers something like “Why don't you ask my foot?” Then they laugh and go get wasted drinking ancient Egyptian beer out of bowls.
The changes to the controls can take some getting used to. Especially when it comes to combat, it's more demanding than previous ACs. There is no “automatic” counterattack this time around, which was a staple of AC combat until now. Enemies can be extremely pesky. Normal difficulty is relatively forgiving in terms of how much damage you can absorb... as long as you aren't taking on enemies at a considerably higher level than you. And BTW, I've been hearing a lot of people claim that the level system is new to AC, introduced for the first time by Origins. It really underlines how many people either didn't play Unity or Syndicate, or played them without paying attention or something... because those two games also used pretty much the same level system. Same for upgrading equipment, Origins is not the first AC to do that... Unity and Syndicate did it already, ya big dummies.
One of the most radical franchise changes is Eagle Vision... that is to say, the absence of it. You do have a handy radar ping type ability that marks treasures and other pick-ups in the local vicinity. But for spotting enemies, you have to rely on a more literal form of “eagle vision.” Wherever you go, you're constantly followed in the sky by your pet eagle Senu, and at any time (unless you're underground) you can see through her eyes and use this to mark enemies and other important goals to clear in a given area. Pretty similar to the drone in Watch Dogs 2, which I loved using. (I've heard it's also similar to something in Far Cry Primal which I haven't played.)
I don't even know where to begin when describing Origins' open world. It's glorious. Ever since AC2 and especially Brotherhood, I've yearned for AC to take place in ancient Rome. Ancient Egypt circa 50 BC is close enough. This was a time when the Romans and the Greeks (among others) were burrowed into Egypt like ticks, so you get three tasty historic flavors for the price of one. The world is vast, varied, and there's a good balance between pockets of dense population, wild hunting grounds, and desolate badlands. I've only uncovered about 1/3 of the map so far, but I feel like I've already covered way more ground than Brotherhood, Revelations, Unity and Syndicate combined. I was always sorry to see AC dial back from the collections of iconic cities in AC1 and AC2 in favor of merely one huge city. Let's just say I certainly have no problem with Origins in that regard.
The story and characters fit right in with classic AC. I'm not sure exactly where it's going, but so far it feels familiar, in a good way. Bayek has good reason to go questing to assassinate his targets. They've got it coming, and it feels good giving it to them.
The “modern day” aspect of the game is back, naturally... it wouldn't be AC without it. So far, in around 20 hours of play, it's only interrupted and pulled me out of the Animus once. I hate to spoil it, but... we finally have a new bona fide replacement for Desmond. An actual character, that you see from 3rd person perspective, who has dialogue and personality, a spunky one at that. Again, not sure where that's going, but so far so good.
Very curious to know what Origins would have been like if they'd released it in Nov 2016 as originally planned. But I'm pretty sure taking the year off was well worth it. AC2 is still my favorite in the franchise and probably always will be at this point, but I simply can't deny that Origins is likely the best AC so far. My only problem with it is that it's keeping me from playing Super Mario Odyssey. =\
* I'm guessing that some might argue that AC3 broke the mold by introducing naval combat, which was then doubled down on by AC4. I would remind them that it was actually Brotherhood that introduced naval combat, via one of the “Da Vinci's war machines” missions. AC3 simply expanded on that, and AC4 then focused on it. It was a gradual build up of something relatively minor when first implemented.
EDIT 11/13/17: I racked up over 110 hours by the time I beat the game. Needless to say I completed every available activity. Then I finally started in on Super Mario Odyssey. About two hours later, I was playing Origins again. I'm about 45 hours into my second play through. Sorry Mario, I promise I'll get back to you someday...
EDIT 3/21/18: The Hidden Ones DLC was pretty good. The Curse of the Pharohs DLC is outstanding. Literally fantastic. I don't want to spoil anything, but several sections of it add a layer of surreality the likes of which I've never seen before, at least not in a game like AC. Top notch DLC.
EDIT 7/18/18: Even after I was well and truly done with Origins months ago, I never did go back to Mario Odyssey... until July 1. I “beat it” (i.e. defeated Bowser for the first time) about a week later, and I now have a little over 600 moons. Awesome game, shame on you Origins for diverting me away from it for so long,
The reason I've always loved AC as a franchise over other franchises is the historical settings they use. They've always been (as far as I've been able to research) fairly accurate historically, with a few liberties taken here and there that obviously come with the territory of making a video game. In fact, by the time the series got to ACU, I literally was only playing the game because the French Revolution was a fascinating time and really drew me into the game, despite the fact that I didn't much care for the main story or the characters (although solving the mysteries was a fun little portion of the game).
When I got ACS. I barely made it 2 hours into the game before I gave up on it. The characters were boring, I wasn't too intrigued by the Victoria Era London, and the story was uninteresting. That, on top of the fact that I was already fairly exhausted after the yearly releases of a canned game (exception: AC4). had me convinced I was done with AC.
And then came ACO. My goodness. Thank you, Ubisoft, for not making another recycled game with boring characters and identical gameplay. The dynamics of the game, while not really new to the gaming world, are very fresh to the AC franchise, lending the unique aspects of AC to new gameplay. So here are the good and bad parts of the game:
Good Stuff
1. Despite initial trepidations about the new eagle vision, I'll have to admit I like it. A lot. The whole eagle-man bond is a bit ambiguous (how am I seeing through the Eagle's eyes exactly?), but if you just accept it, it's a fantastic modification to an AC staple.
2. The combat system is so much better. Weaponry versatility is a great addition. While the weapons aren't particularly diverse compared to some franchises, for AC it's a major change. Different types of weapons actually do many different things, and it allows many different styles of combat. I personally like using my bow (even in the midst of 20 guys) and don't use the swords nearly as much, but I like the fact that I can fight how I want and that the enemies actually are more difficult to kill. It's not Dark Souls, but they certainly tried to toughen them up. Combat is finally a bit challenging, diverse, and enjoyable in AC.
3. Great visuals. The scenery is stunning and I really enjoy it.
4. I mean, come on. Ancient Egypt? The only things that might be better are Ancient Rome and Alexandrian Greece. Sure, it's not the Old Kingdom, but it's a much more diverse and tumultuous era, lending to some really fun insights into the dynamics of that society. Plus, the area is awesome to explore.
5. The map is big, and offers a plethora of different environments to explore, making for more diversity in gameplay and preventing me from getting too bored.
6. Bayek is awesome, and I love his character. Not broody, not irrational - just a fun guy with some serious BA qualities.
Now, the bad
1. NO DATABASE. Like what the heck? I know a lot of people didn't read it or care for it as much as me, but still. IT'S ANCIENT FRICKING EGYPT. An era from 2000+ years ago might not be quite as knowable as Victoria London, but there's just too much history, architecture, and character in this era to NOT have a Database. I gotta go do all my research on my own now, which is considerably less concise and a bit more confusing. I really enjoy history and I can't imagine there are many people that wouldn't at least spend a few minutes looking at a database entry about the mysteries of the pyramids, the history of Cleopatra, or where the heck the Ptolemaic dynasty came from. I mean, they even took an extra year for the game...I do hear that 2018 is bringing a "guided tour" mode, which might be their way of brining back the database, but we'll see.
2. The skill tree, while being a great addition, isn't really all that special. I'm only level 31, and I'm able to get pretty much the best aspects of each branch of the tree. I like the idea of being limited to a single style of play, but the game doesn't really limit you to one, and therefore doesn't make your choices in the skill tree all that important. There's unique aspects to each tree, sure, but they don't really make you choose one. You can have them all.
3. Loading screens from Senu (if he travels too far from you) is kind of a pain, but that's not much of a complaint.
In all, the game is excellent and I'm really enjoying it as I haven't enjoyed AC since Black Flag. Definitely a must-buy for anybody who's ever enjoyed AC and even for those who have never played AC before.
